Chapter 5
1 Call now if there be any that will answer you, and turn to some of the saints.
2 Anger indeed kills the foolish, and envy slays the little one.
3 I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.
4 His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.
6 Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow does not spring out of the ground.
7 Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.
8 Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:
9 Who does great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:
10 Who gives rain upon the face of the earth, and waters all things with waters:
11 Who sets up the humble on high, and comforts with health those that mourn.
12 Who brings to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:
13 Who catches the wise in their craftiness, and disappoints the counsel of the wicked:
14 They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
16 And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.
17 Blessed is the mall whom God corrects: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord:
18 For he wounds, and cures: he strikes, and his hands shall heal.
19 In six troubles he shall deliver you, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch you.
20 In famine he shall deliver you from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword.
21 You shall he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and you shall not fear calamity when it comes.
22 In destruction and famine then shall laugh: and you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 But you shall have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with you.
24 And you shall know that your tabernacle is in peace, and visiting your beauty you shall not sin.
25 You shall know also that your seed shall be multiplied, and your offspring like the grass of the earth.
26 You shall enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.
27 Behold, this is even so, as we have searched oat: which you having heard, consider it thoroughly in your mind.
